A response from the great man himself:
"I actually have four masters of Boney in my little drawer : The original BH version, in Fimo; and two slightly variant versions in metal which include the current AB one ; and an unissued 1790s figure. There's also another head. At this distance in time I can't recall when or why I made the one you have, but although it looks familiar. I don't seem to have it myself !"
Channelling my "inner chi....errr, Kiley" I have to say that I'm sorry, I don't believe Bonaparte actually said that - and certainly not in English. And besides, who else but the great man himself would merit the epithet "the great man himself"!
(I put that up on the AB Facebook page initially, then thought better of it and put it here instead. )
